weigh them to make on the weight loss.If they JUST all of a sudden quit eating there wont be a weight loss so soon.When did they eat last?

just keep a record of their weight. if they start to lose weight substantially it could be adisease or illness of somesort. but weight records are advised. 1 gram doesnt seem like a major problem, but it could easily be the start of mor weight loss so keep an eye.

Force feeding is very drastic. Unless you can see there spins or there super under weight then dont worry about one or 2 grams. My Tremper enimga girl hasnt eaten in 2 weeks she's dropped 2 grams. Am i worrying? nopeha shes at a nice 51 grams. is it possible the air temp lowered? Mine are slowing down eating alot because of that. a few grams isnt something you should consider force feeding on. Often times it does more harm then good when not needed.
